Reduce National Debt
I have a very radical idea on how we could reduce our national debt. So radical I believe that the government would never even have thought of taking such action. My idea is as follows:
1) Reduce the Member of Parliaments base wage to £40,000 per annum.
2) Make the MP’s office staff payed by the government directly rather than through the MP’s expenses.
3) MP’s are no longer allowed to put a second home on expenses unless that second home is less in its upkeep cost than the travel to the Houses of Parliament.
4) MP’s can only claim a maximum expenses per annum equal to and no more than their annual wages.
